@yvessirae @wynrosei You're a fuckin idiot. He means dating market value. Women expire Men if they're rich and successful are still desirable at an older age. Women when you're 25 majority of your eggs are expired. Your uncle doesn't take care of himself but I know a lot of men 50 plus who are fit af
English

My uncle who's 50+ would always say women over 25 are old but men at 50 are still in their prime. Today in the group chat, he said he needed help from me and my sisters with housework because he's struggling with lifting and bending so I had to remind him that he's still in his prime and he shouldn't be struggling with simple tasks. if it's already difficult for him, it'll be impossible for us 25+ old hags unless he's expecting my dad to come and do it. Now my family is blowing up my phone.

@darkcursse164 @Charlygotyou Societies have an interest in the welfare of children.

@Charlygotyou Schools have gotten delusional with the amount of power than think they have over your child. That needs to be corrected.

By the DOJ's own account, the SPLC's informant program was cheap and effective.
For a fraction of a *percentage* of their annual budget, SPLC penetrated the nation's worst hate groups and published their secrets with info from their turncoats.
The DOJ's case assumes donors felt defrauded by this. buff.ly/cwTnYg6

@SageKnowsAll @SussexHenryVIII Only George should be a full time royal. Why force the other children to do a career they never chose.
English

The reality is that this is going to become real over the next decade ish.
So what’s the plan? Especially considering these two work less than their 70+ year old counterparts.
Frantic royalists are insisting the Wessex kids are going to play a role - lol.
The York daughters are out for obvious reasons.
Anne’s kids don’t bring anything to the table.
And the Sussexes were chased away.
Soo?

@SussexHenryVIII Edward and Sophie are going to be worked well into their nineties, but it won't be enough to make up for the principals laziness. It's not like anyone is queuing up to see them, either.

@Imagloater @ShangguanJiewen It's well and properly maintained, it's just the nature of the beast.
English

@radleftie @ShangguanJiewen That could be bettered. As a vehicle technician of 32 years I'd say try and change the fuel delivery components. Injectors get dirty and clogged, as well as the throttle body getting gummed up. It's well worth the investment.

@CeciliaWes38578 @michaelt5656 The point is to SURVIVE the flu by arming your immune system before it hits you.
English

@michaelt5656 What makes you think that if you get the flu vaccine you’ll never get the flu
English

@Calliope1925 @michaelt5656 Quite the opposite. Elderly people survived the 1918 flu because they had been exposed to a similar virus early in their lives -- the equivalent of being vaccinated. Meanwhile, fit young recruits died in droves within a matter of days.
English

@michaelt5656 Survival of the fittest. One way of ensuring the only the fittest people are in the US military.
English

@Praetorius42 @michaelt5656 Suggest you read about the Great Influenza of 1918 and rethink your idea of voluntary military readiness based on personal preference.
English

@michaelt5656 I don’t care for these buffoons, but allowing those who want the vaccine to get it and those who don’t not to is entirely reasonable. Lack of demonstrated reliable efficacy and unintended consequences make it only valid as a matter of personal preference
English

@RickHes58370799 @michaelt5656 Abortions don't impact military readiness. Are you really this dumb?
English

@michaelt5656 When it comes to women slaughtering unborn babies, it's my body, my choice. But when Hegseth gives them a choice about a flu shot, it's a crime. Let that sink in stupid.
English

@SeriouslyOnly @michaelt5656 Getting a mild case of the flu primes your immune system to protect you against a similar virus. The alternative is what happened in 1918 when 45,000 US soldiers died from the flu.
Military readiness is not a joke.
English

@michaelt5656 The elective 'flu vaccine' is, at best, 40% effective in a good year. However, 20% who take the flu vaccine - immediately get the flu. Are you capable to run the numbers and come up with why it should be FORCED? It's not a reliable vaccine - it's always a question mark.
English

@Crawfish1924 @michaelt5656 @whitecrow43 There is currently no military draft, therefore nobody is forced to join. If you chose to join the military you will be required to do many things, not all of them fun or pleasant, many of them potentially life threatening.
In 1918 the flu killed over 45,000 US soldiers.
English

@michaelt5656 @whitecrow43 Forcing ANYONE to take ANY TYPE of vaccine, is WRONG. I think Hegseth should be in prison for War Crimes, I’m no fan of his. But DON’T GO down the road of forced vaccines. You’re losing credibility very fast.
English

@MorbiusIam2023 @michaelt5656 Ah yes, the doctrine of voluntary military readiness. Taken to its logical conclusion, all training should be voluntary, too, right?
English

@michaelt5656 The vaccines are still available to anyone who wants to take them. What has been removed is the MANDATORY REQUIREMENT to take them.

@Rfrden56Marcia @ACTIdgit @michaelt5656 In the case of the flu, however, your immune system will be primed to deal with it. That's why many elderly people survived the Great Influenza of 1918, while otherwise healthy young soldiers dropped dead in a matter of days.
English

@ACTIdgit @michaelt5656 So you know most vaccines don’t mean you won’t get the virus
English

@Anaxim3nder @ACTIdgit @michaelt5656 Suggest that you acquaint yourself with the Great Influenza of 1918.
They died. Previously healthy soldiers were dead within 2 - 3 days of first symptoms.
English

@ACTIdgit @michaelt5656 Can you tell us what will happen if those physically fit, perfectly healthy, young sailors get the flu?
Will they all die?
Or will they just have a mild cold?
English

@jimwass @michaelt5656 Perhaps you might acquaint yourself with the Great Influenza of 1918?

@michaelt5656 What influenza strain would be devastating to highly fit military personnel?

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue.
On April 21st, the left screen moved first.
I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug.
At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy.
On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me.
At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire.
Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83.
I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags.
My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports.
The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026:
Reviewed.
That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.
Let me show you my flags.
March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it.
March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it.
April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it.
April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it.
April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it.
That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one.
The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March.
Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012.
Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence.
Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets.
The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade.
I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email.
The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action.
One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared.
One account is a coincidence. But there were six.
Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000.
My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger.
March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes.
The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event.
The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting."
Then the White House sent the email again.
I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread.
I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated.
But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed.
Zero prosecutions.
As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.
I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations.
The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still.
In my field, we call this price discovery.

@OcrazioCornPop Resign so that Trump can appoint another Alito? No thanks.

🚨 SCOTUS SCANDAL EXPLODES: Chief Justice John Roberts reportedly HID $20 MILLION+ in his wife’s commissions from Big Law firms that argue before SCOTUS, then refused to recuse in over 500 cases!
He mischaracterized the cash as “salary” and buried her equity stake for years.
JOHN ROBERTS MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY or be impeached.

@hperrin59 @AdamKinzinger Orban is likely buying one of Trump's Golden Visas, making his exempt from little things like immigration law or enforcement.
English

@AdamKinzinger So will ICE be showing up at Victor Orban's door in Florida, if his family overstays their 🇺🇸 Visitors Visa?

Good luck @PM_ViktorOrban
SzabadonMagyarul 🇬🇧🇭🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺@SzabadonMagyar
Orban is leaving Hungary and will move to the USA, apparently just for the summer, but worth to mention that his daughter and her husband, the two multi billionaire thieves left Hungary already and moved to the USA before the election.
English

@KarenSalitis @RonFilipkowski It would actually be hilarious to see Trump slap his name on a failed discount airline known for being the bottom of the barrel in flying experiences.
English

I agree with you that the government shouldn't be buying a failed airline company. But when you look behind this failed airline being bought, you know in your heart it's going to be a major grift for Trump. Watch them want to call it "Trump Airlines" or something similar because his despicable, disgusting name has to be on EVERYTHING. This way he can have a failed "airline" TWICE under his name.
